Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Trunk Gap]

For those who reserved a Plaid the actual day Plaid was announced (ie not a previous order that was converted, and not after), what’s your rez #?
I was halfway thru day 1 as I recall, and I’m 1144. I’m seeing pre-plaid-announcement orders in 1142’s - that’s a spread of thousands & thousands of orders, can they really produce that many vehicles for delivery in June? Guessing not.

As of this morning my dates went away and back to "-". 1142xxx plaid Was June 1 -30 for several days. Oh well. Closing in on 7 months.

I really hope you take delivery of your vehicle before me. At this point I'd say "-" is better than what I got.

I'm sure they're doing their best, a refresh is a big deal and many moving parts to make a finished product with quality and approvals with regulatory. But 7 motnhs is making it rough for me with my old car. Hopefully they solve the issues. Most car makers I am sure it would take longer for a new car so I need to keep my expectations reasonable.

If I was given the option to pick up my car in the next week or two at the Fremont factory, I’d book a flight in a heartbeat. I’d be happy to drive it home.

That would be a blast and good way to get to know the new features.

A client of mine in the automotive space told me today that they are literally missing foam for their seats/padded areas. Wow.

The RN number are for all Teslas, include Model 3 and Model Y. I believe that is worldwide.

Next earnings call, Elon is going to be talking about raiding all of the Hobby Lobbies in the Bay Area for stuffing like his USB story.

So as I’m buying in a neighboring state (IL) as WI doesn’t sell direct is making that neighboring state CA and going to Fremont an actual option ??

Shouldn’t affect the hard asses in this thread

Same here. Still waiting on anything

This is really frustrating... Others are getting updates twice or thrice daily (for better or worse?), and here I am with no update at all! I even chatted with Tesla support to check if there is any issue with my profile receiving updates ...

You exactly. I don't know. I ordered at the end of Feb

Haha. I am back to August after March, July, and June. Pretty crazy.

I would absolutely go pick it up from Fremont next week if given the option. As it is, I will be flying to Houston on deliver day, signing paperwork, and driving back to New Orleans. I'll have a cool 6 hours to play with everything.

I would consider yourself lucky. When you say for better or worse - I would definitely emphasize "worse". I would prefer no updates at this point to the constant up and down seesaw of daily delivery date changes. I am getting motion sickness and want off of this roller coaster.

My new delivery date is now August even though my signature still says June. I figure why even change it since I will probably have a new date or a blank date in a few hours. With the dates changing as rapidly as they are, I would consider them meaningless. The new dates appear to be as accurate as my original March delivery date.

Tesla has 10,000 on a "factory hold": a logistics nightmare. See the article.

Tesla is stuck with over 10,000 cars on factory hold, resulting in a logistical nightmare

Tesla has over 10,000 electric cars that came out of Fremont Factory on a “containment hold” and can’t deliver them...

Tesla should be happy to allow customers to pick up their cars at the factory.
Anyone know if that’s an option ?

I think it is, or at least it was. I was going to do it for one of my cars, the issue is the state of CA collects sales tax -IN ADDITION TO- whatever your state charges when you take delivery in CA and drive it home. Pretty much makes it only a feasible option if you live in CA.

 

[Danlbrau]

Never had a delivery date. Just blank, blank, blank...

At this point anything but nothing would be great

Why? Even if you get a date in a day or two you’d be back to blank or “-“.

When I ordered mine in January I was told factory delivery was no longer an option. Asked my SA to check yesterday since Covid restrictions are relaxed. Hopefully he’ll say that’s back on. Would save Tesla shipping costs and they still collect destination fee but might speed up delivery a few days.
